olave swan valley adventure tasting, tasting, 1, 2, 3... It's Eloise here or you can also call me Quokka! I'm going to tell you how much fun the Olaves had at the Swan Valley Adventure in September, organised by Jasmine Paine and the WA Olave Committee. On Sunday 20 September, 2020, the WA Olaves went to the Swan Valley for a Olave Swan Valley Adventure. The weather wasn't all blue skies and sunshine, but by dashing from one place to the next in cars and finding shelter where possible, it made the adventure even more thrilling than it already was. We met up at the Swan Valley Visitor Centre, dressed in Olave Program purple, and we were put in teams of four. We were given a map, a booklet of questions and a random photo list. Then each team went to separate starting points. My team started at Yahava Koffeeworks and we had to answer the clues while we did some coffee tastings and eating coffee beans. Then we went on to Mondo Nougat where we bought nougat and found answers to the clues in our booklet. Along the way to each place, we had a list of random things to take a photo of. For example, take a photo of a rainbow or a birthday party. Then we went to the most famous Margaret River Chocolate Factory and we did chocolate tastings. We also went to the historic All Saints Church, Bells Rapids, Whistler's Chocolate Factory and the House of Honey (where we did honey and mead tastings!). Then for lunch we had a high tea at the Lavender Bistro. After that, we went to Joey’s Diner and Olive Farm Wines, and then we wrapped up the day at The Ugly Duckling where we did some more wine tasting. We had a lot of fun that day and made new friends - and of course, we were PURPLE! By Eloise Krikstolaitis
